It's a fun game, however, it does play like a demo! I'm hoping quite a few updates come through, because this has a lot of potential. For what it is, and compared to some other games, the price is good!

The graphics are very high quality, but here are some things you should add to the game in the future. 1. Accuracy. For animals like wolves, cougars, etc., do some research. Research about animal gestation times for a future pregnancy update, start with the animal of the player's choice as, IRL, sexually mature (e.g, wolves reach maturity at two) You should also add buffs related to the animal you're playing as. like a pack buff for social animals, a hibernation debuff for bears, etc. 2. Actually make the season you choose at the start that season. Like when I choose fall, it sends me to summer. Are you, in fact, aware of this? If so, are you able to fix it? 3. Make the fauna in the current biome more accurate, like since that map looks like it could be in the Northern Hemisphere, South American cougars definitely do not belong there, as an example. 4. Add a flee system. If you harass or injure an enemy long enough, they'll run away. And, deer are a lot more dangerous than they look. When protecting their calves or fawns from predators, doe or cow elk can break bones with their hooves. 5. Yes, I am an absolute smart@ss Overall, a 3.5/5. Room for improvement.

THE best multi animal game AND the most cheapest its absolutely perfect although some more features would make it the GOAT of all animal games like how about cut scenes? or story mode!! glorious graphics and awesome attack features i can kill anything!! I love pretending I'm in a natural geographic but radio collars an accessories that animals could have in irl!! I play this game every day im home!! although something i really want is more members in the family! the average members in a wolf pack is 8-9 please add that and more than 10 members in a deer family but everything in this beautiful game is perfect beside the limited numbers of family members!! And a 1 man team!?!?! You're doing great.

I love running or flying around as animals and just exploring and hunting. It's really relaxing! The graphics are very nice and I like that there are optional quests if you get bored. I'd highly recommend it to people who enjoy roaming around as animals for fun

Such a beautiful game! My jaw dropped when I loaded in. The was one of the first things I noticed is just how amazing the models, map, movements, and calls all were. This is just *chefs kiss*. I immediately had my friend get it too so they can enjoy what the Dev has created. There are some bugs, but I also saw they’re switching over. I did lag some but that’s on me using all high settings. The things I’ve encountered are minor issues that can be fixed quickly anyways. I found this after wanting something like The Isle, but not as stressful. I’m excited to see how this game evolves and what other games come from it. Could be really neat to have a world with friends too.
